INTRODUCTION This report calling for constructing an on-site childcare facility for employees of BWI Airport is workable and could be fully implemented by September 1. This report discusses the plan’s background, benefits, problems, costs, and time frame. Specifically, the report seeks answers to these questions: • How effectively has BWI Airport accommodated to family-related issues among employees? Historically, what have employees done in the midst of a child-related emergency? • Is an on-site childcare facility the right choice for BWI Airport? • What are the total initial expenses required in order to begin operations? What are the operative costs involved? BACKGROUND: THE ROLE OF BWI AND THE LACK OF PRODUCTIVITY For those who are unfamiliar with it, BWI Airport is a 3,600-acre international airport located 10 miles south of Baltimore and 32 miles northeast of the nation’s capital. BWI provides 21,155 total jobs, affording its employees with over $1.2 billion annually in personal income and tax revenues upwards of $326 million. 22.7 million individuals travelled through BWI last year, providing the facility and its surrounding areas with billions of dollars worth of business and revenues. BWI has the largest economic impact of any airport in the state of Maryland, and is a central hub of activity and commerce for the local community as well. Employers state that childcare issues cause more problems within the workplace than any other family-related issue. Frequent absences and tardiness can be associated with employees’ family caregiving responsibilities, as well as decreased job satisfaction, increased intentions to quit, and increased stress and strain while on the job. The number of families with two working parent... ... middle of paper ... ...t it still decreases absenteeism, reduces employee turnover, improves recruitment potential, improves retention and job satisfaction, improves morale, provides consistent productivity, and improves the overall wellbeing of employees. Liability issues can be overcome through insurance and under-enrollment won’t be an issue in an establishment with tens of thousands of employees. Being able to renovate the space in Terminal D reduces initial building costs while tax deductions reduce the operative costs needed to uphold the facility. BWI Airport can invest in this program and the return in the form of reduced hidden costs and increased productivity will provide a surplus of thousands of dollars paired with intensified employee satisfaction. Therefore, the implementation of an on-site childcare program for employees within BWI Airport is both practical and advisable.
The quality of child care in the United States leaves room for improvement. According to (Deborah, L., Vandell, & Barbara, W.), suggest that when low-income families received child care, mothers are more likely to keep doctor’s appointments and decrease their stress level. The cost of child care is having a huge impact on the careers of working parents and people with disabilities. According to the case study of Katy Adams is one that conveys the message of different facets of stress and, how it impacts a person’s health and well been.
During the second World War, Kaiser Child Care centers opened from 1943 to 1945 serving women engaged in the war effort and their young children. These centers were opened for 24 hours all year long which allowed women to go to their jobs while keeping their children in a safe place that met with their requirements. Today this perspective is still applied in childcare centers and have sparked the idea that children should feel safe and be safe when being in any type of child care center where the parent or guardian is not present due to the need of them going to work. Teachers in Kaiser Child Care Centers were to be trained in order to provide quality care and education. This idea was also implied by Friedrich Wilhelm Froebel, in his statement

There are 5 areas of performance in Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) that we consider as below standard.
“A study done by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), reports that, kids in non-maternal care tend to be associated with qualities such as “gets in lots of fights,” “cruelty,” “explosive behavior,” “talking too much,” “argues a lot,” and “demands a lot of attention.”” (qtd. in Lowry 1) Teachers, who work in a preschool environment, are frustrated with how badly the children behave. Employees in day care are governed by strict rules that often prevent disciplining children the way parents can do at home. This often causes a loss of respect for others because many children grow up thinking they can do anything they want. These days, many adolescence act as if they are owed something. They often think nothing is wrong with the way they treat others in the workplace. They tend to have lazy work ethics and have bad attitudes when asked to do something. This makes it difficult for employers to find the best candidates for the job that are going to be willing to work hard without
In the early years of a child’s life, it’s crucial that the child gets the care and attention they need. For children to receive the best care and attention, it’s best they stay home with their parents because it’s more influential on their development. However, in order to make a living, parents need to re-enter the workforce which then leaves them with the decision of which care would be best. This being said, most parents are left with the only option of sending their child to daycare. Being that the parents are left with such option, the most important factor they need to take into consideration is the quality of the daycare, not price or convenience.
airports in which they operate. The airline’s growth is predicted to continue, even though Brexit
I have chosen Heathrow Airport for my report because it is one of the most implausible airports in the world. It is used by more than 90 airlines flying with numerous passengers to 170 destinations.
To deal with the situation, the airline set up a crisis management centre to continuously monitor the situation. At the crisis centre, a team of 15 personnel from planning, revenue management and public relations worked round-the-clock to reschedule various flights and monitor the
Most parents are concerned about which type of child care is best for their children. In the past, mothers usually stayed at home to raise their children, so they did not need to decide who nurtured the children. However, today’s circumstances have changed. The ratio of stay-at-home mothers has been decreasing steadily. According to statistics, 61% of mothers with children under age three were employed in 2012, whereas only 34% of them worked in 1975 (Statistics Brain). Because of financial problems, some of them might work, or they might want to work in order to build their careers since traditional gender roles have changed. Regardless of why they work, working mothers who want to keep working have to return to their work in three months after giving birth. According to the Family and Medical Leave Act signed by Clinton in 1993, employees are allowed to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave to care for a newborn baby or sick relative (Child Care). Therefore, they either have to find substitutes who can care for their babies or take them to some child-care providers such as day care centers or home-based child-care providers. In percentage terms, while only 27% of infants and toddlers are raised by their mothers or fathers, 22% are cared for by relatives, 22% are in day care centers, 17% are in home-based child care providers, and 7% are with babysitters or nannies (“Fast Facts”). If a father or a mother cannot help but work altogether, they have no choice except for these alternatives. Even if the selected method, might work better than they expected for the best child care, either one of the parents should stay at home to raise their children. If they cannot care their children at home, they should find a high-quality day care ce...
In response, most major organization took actions to make their workplaces more family friendly. They introduced programs such on-site child care, summer day camps, flextime, job sharing, leaves for school functions, telecom muting, and part-time employment. But organizations quickly are releasing that work/life conflicts were not experienced only by female employees with children but also male employees.
The surrounding communities are Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica, Inglewood and El Segundo in which it is based.

To sum up, Abu Dhabi international airport has the highest rank among the best airport in the world. As stated above all the operations are effectively well maintained with care to provide satisfaction and safety hence the chosen location is convenience. Abu Dhabi Airport Company is still planning to come with the project of expanding the airport since there are an incremental numbers of the air transport user’s services day by day. Since the airport is in the good position and has brand image towards the public this gives them more room of improvement and build trust bond between the airport company and the customers not only in travelling but also other services.
The dilemma woman face today when working outside the home is deciding on the best care for their family, regardless of what others say. Women have fought for independence and equality to work outside the home for the past forty years. Stay-at-home mothers have debated over mothers working outside the home and the effects it may have on a child’s development for decades. One study shows that there is no harm emotionally, psychologically or developmentally to a child that has a working mother. Women around the world have been asking themselves what seems to be a simple question, is it better to stay at home with their children, or work outside of the home? The answer to this question is not going to be the same for everyone. Overall, this is a very personal choice for the mother and family and what is best for one family may not be best for another. One of the main things that mothers think about when contemplating entering the work force is how will this impact their child. The good news is that there have been some recent studies to help answer this tough question. Let's look at the long-term impact from children being in daycare from infancy. One of the issues children in daycare are stigmatized with is behavioral, this may be due to the length of time spent over four years in day care.
